Christianity in the 1700s (US)

[BarryB]

This is more of a question than anything else.  I am quite sure that if I compare the face of Christianity in the 20th Century to what was practiced in the US, in the last part of the 18th Century and early 19th Century; it would look quite different.  My question is "In what way?"  How did people view the role of the Church at that time?    Where can I find out more about the role of the Church at that time and the common views about government and general society, at that time.  For now, I'm targeting the period of the Founding Fathers.

There is quite a bit of ministry about church truth and history at the site (www.biblecounsel.homestead.com), Barry.  Are you familiar with that revival of 1827?  I am associated with that fellowship, which seeks to hold all ministry and authority for the Christian faith in the Word, rather than religious reasoning and ideologies.  See what you think
